A puzzled smile back to her. "Why is that amusing, Lady Ako?"

"I am joyful, Svava."

She spreads her hands wide,

"It is what I do."

A smile, only faintly wry. "That must be all very good, then. You are lucky."

"I am, yes."

Because it is a luck to know how to act, and how to be joyful even when circumstances are not.

Svava chuckles, and stands. "Well then, Lucky Lady Ako, may I get you a drink?"

"Certainly. Green tea with crispy rice, please."

She stands as well, and makes her way to a seat.

Svava just blinks at the order, then nods, and requests it from the bar. "And a hot chocolate, if you please?" A smile and pat to the bar, and she takes a seat herself.

Green tea with crispy rice is
A) a real drink and
B) damn good.

Ako makes a murring noise of pleasure when she gets it.

Svava giggles quietly, and sips her own hot chocolate. She looks young when she laughs, the scifi armor not withstanding.

Big, cinnamon colored eyes are batted at her,

"Something wrong, dear?"

She's still murring.

"You are much like your fox self, Lady Ako. That's all." A slightly sheepish chuckle.

"That is because I am a Fox, dear. This is just my....well, one of my....human suits."

She's so very, very honest about that.

"Hm. I know I've mentioned it before, but my shapeshifting is different. Though, Yrael, he still has some of his cat mannerisms in his human form. Its... interesting to see."

"For some the shape affects the mind. It doesn't for me, but I am not quite the same. Foxes are shapeshifters first, and thus..."

She shrugs,

"I know who I am. My shape does not define me."

"But... the fox is who you are, first. Human.. or human looking, rather, is after that. Yes?"

"The Fox is the shape I was born in."

She shrugs,

"But it isn't who I am. I am Ako."

"... True. Very true." A faint smile and nod.

"I'm sorry if I was prying, I just like trying to understand, that's all."

"Its fine, Svava."

She takes a sip of tea, and beams,

"People who have only one form, or people who spend too much time in only one form, begin to identify with it."

"But that's how most mortals are. Only one form." A curious raised brow to Ako.

"Yes, dear, I know this."

She beams again,

"But I am not, quite. Oh, I'll die eventually. Probably. If someone manages to figure out how to kill me."

"I do know that feeling, in a way." A shrug, biting her lip.

She reaches over and pats Svava's hand, comfortingly.

A faint smile, looking back up to Ako. "I... recieved news that relates to home, the other day."

She looks interested, and tilts her head just a bit. It would, however, be rude to pry.

"I've mentioned that I'm Bound here? I can go to the worlds of others, but the door does not open for me."
